Email Automation Format Grid Record - Remove Text Wrapping in Cells?

Hi there,

I'm creating a weekly digest email that pulls all records created from the past week and displays as a Grid of Records in the email.

When a preview is generated within Airtable, the formatting is clean and the text for each entry doesn't wrap within the cell.

However, when the email is sent out, text within in each cell wraps, making each row taller than a single line and isn't a consistent height. Several of the fields are linked records.

How can this be adjusted so the Grid Records in the email appear more like the preview in Airtable (consistent, 1-line row heights with no text wrapping), rather than how they are appearing in the email currently?

I don't think we can adjust that I'm afraid.  For text fields we can turn on the "Truncate text fields" option, but that doesn't apply for linked fields


Oddly, when I was previewing with a bunch of entires in a linked record it didn't show as a 1 line row for me:

Thanks for the reply. My workaround solution is to include less columns in the email. Less columns = correct widths and less wrapped text in the email.
